JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS The subjoined statements supply the latest intelligence re ceived in London relative to the state of the weather and the progress of the harvest. From the silence of most of the papers on the subject we presume that the corn crops in England are almost all housed. ~`'~~._. ~~ J ~~y~ ~~9 ~,.~~t" The past week has been most favourable to the operations of the corn harvest, and for several miles around this eity,we believe that nearly the whole of the wheat and barley has been got together hi excellent condition. In the higher districts of the county, we regret to hear that the wheat is very backward, and fears have teen entertained that many fields would not ripen ; the present week has, however, been favourable to the maturation ; the frosty nights and sunshine days having• enabled many to begin reaping. and to hasten the harvest of the farmers in the uplands. —Hereford Times. 'Firs iloes.—The severe trusts in the nights of Sunday, Monday, end Tuesday last, completely arrested the growth of the hop ; packing will partially commence next week; we understand it will begin on Monday next in the extensive grounds of William Unett, Esq., I!larden. From the best authorities we learn that the produce of the Hereford dis trict is not likely to yield more than a sixth part of the pro duce of last year, as not only are the hops small, but_ a great number of bines arc completely fruitless. The hop duty of the Hereford district in 1836 was 26.670/. 3s. 10d., in 1937 it was 48,2371. 17s. 4d—Hereford Times. - The weather since our last has been highly, favourable to the harvest. Shearing has commenced in several places in the vale, and in the course of another week, should the present weather continue, will become general. The wheat crop will be the last ready for the sickle by about 14 days ; generally it is ready a fortnight before other grain. The ears of wheat have filled up greatly within the last week. Oats and barley promise to be much above an average crop, and wheat will not be nearly so bad as was anticipated. —Lancaster Guardian. The harvest in the island will nearly conclude with the week, and the crops have been housed in most excellent con dition. It is pleasing to observe such a goodly array of sub stantial corn ricks in our farmsteads, and leads us to hope that the labouring man will shortly derive the benefit therefrom in the shape of a cheaper loaf.—lsle of Wight Advertiser. The weather, since the close of last week, has been all that heart could wish. The harvest in this neighbourhood is now fairly commenced, and with another fortnight of our present weather, all will be well.—Berwick Advertiser. John Todd, Esq., Mire-side, Bromfield, finished reaping his crep on Thursday, the 13th inst. Mr. Todd is well known for his superior management and fur sowing early, and, We believe, is the first in this county who has finished his har vest.— Car lisle Patriot.

She was about to go to Swan River for a supply of provisions, having vainly endeavoured to find a river on the coast in that quarter ; and the land expedition, under Licut. Grey, had been equally un successful ; he had not been able to penetrate ; more than 70 miles inland, and had passed over much bad and stony country, with some patches of rich soil. He had found the . natives very troublesome ; on one occasion Mr. Grey was struck by three spears, and but for his powder-horn one would have passed through his breast. The boats of the Beagle had surveyed the whole coast from Roebuck Bay to King George's Sound. Mr. Grey found a small fresh-water river, which was explored for sixty miles, but it had no communica tion with the sea. Several other indentations gave hope of navigable rivers, but they generally terminated in mangrove swamps. The thermometer ranged from 92 in the day to 87 in the night, but the whole of the crew and the exploring par ties were in perfect health. The Beagle would next proceed with the unfinished surveys of Bass's Straits, and reach Syd ney in August. The Cornwallis, 74, arrived at Halifax on the 20th ult., and the crew was to be hulked for a couple of months, while the ship was repairing and painting. The Admiral would rejoin his ship in the Inconstant frigate at the close of the summer season. _ ia c i tb# gef to •nly ..11 p.ts.—Night SPECIMEN OP ANNUAL PREMIUMS TO INSURE 1100. • The Selling Stakes of 10 sivs. each, with 30 added by the:Cor poration, for - three yrs old, 6st. 121 b; four yrs, Bst ; five yrs, Bst. 71b ; six yrs and aged, Bst. 101 b.

ABINET UPHOLSTERY, and BEDDING, Cat the CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY, 71, LEADEN HALL-STREET, Enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament being real manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any house in London can manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly understood, that they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale, like the bazaars and haberdashers ; but they make every article themselves, which enable them confidently to warrant their goods of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and decided advantages of purchasing . at this establish ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the support of industrious mechanics, the funds of w hich provide for its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

CAPTAIN GLASCOCKS NRW NOVEL—" LAND SaAnis arm SEA Gew.s."—We are requested to state that Mr. Bentley, of New Burlington-street, has this day pub lished the new novel, entitled " Land Sharks and. Sea Gulls." By Captain Glascock, R.N., author of " The Naval Sketch Book," "Tales of a Tar," &c., in 3 vols., with many humourous illustrations, by George Cruikshank. Mr. Bentley has also just published M:s. Trollope's new work of fiction, " A Romance of Vienna." These works may now he had of all Booksellers, and at the various Libraries. On Thursday morning the ceremony of the conse cration of Christchurch, lately erected in the Old Kent-road, took place. The church, which is a remarkably neat and cen. venient structure, is situate in the parish of St. Giles, Cam. berwell. We understand the ground was given by R. Turnor Esq., and the expense of the building, which was about 5,0001. defrayed from a sum of money left by a gentlerran for the building and endowment of the church. The elm ch contains sitting-room for 1,200 persons, a great number of which are free and unappropriated. The Bishop of Winchester (in whose diocese the church is situated) arrived shortly before eleven o'clock. The ceremony having been performed, the usual morning prayers of the Church were read in a veil , ixileresiive manner by the Rev. Frederick Burton, 13. D., who has been appointed by the trustees Minister of the ch: pit, and the com munion service from the altar by the Bishop.. At the cenclusion of the prayers his' Lordsh . la ascended the pulpit seal preached a, sermon. Mies the conclusion of the s ervice a collecti was Made for the purpose of defraying some incidental ex pent'es, the surplus of which was to be appropriated to the pur, chase of an organ. - ANOTHER WEALTHY he late Mr. W illiam Field; of Launceston, the Sam Terry of Van Die men's land, has left property to the amount of 300,0001. Tne widow receives 5001. per annum for life. The remainder is to be equally divided amongst the four sons of tho legatee. Yesterday (Wednesday), the Rev. Mr. Barnett, of Bromharn, refused to let the corpse of an infant, 13 months old, be carried within the walls of the Church, on account of its being christened at the Wesley an Cha p el in the village ; there being no bnr)ing.ground to the Chapel, they argued the point with the Curate, but could not prevail, and the corpse was taken back again.—Devizes .Indeenclen, PRODucTIyE S tev e ns has a field of Norfolk barley at Menedew that has produced Cornish bushels per acre.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is still no life in the market, and though business is limited in amount, it does not affect prices at present; but this can hardly be expected to continue without an improved demand for most goods. There is no thing fresh to notice either in yarns or wool. Leans, TUESDAY.—Things are not quite so brisk as for the last few weeks ; but this, it must be remarked, is gene rally the case during harvest operations. The high price of wool has, no doubt, its effect, as it is now fast approaching the high rates of 1836, which makes the most extensive buyers very cautious. A large business is expected to be done on Irish account as soon as the fields are cleared. Although a good business is doing at present for America, it is by no means equal to what it has been known. Wool, it is gene rally thought, cannot maintain its present high value; indeed, we think it would be possible in some cases now to buy on more favourable terms. HULDER9FIELD, TURSDAL—Things arc very brisk to-day ; every description of goods found ready buyers, and at prices satisfactory to the manufacturers. The inquiry for fancy articles is unusually good. Wools are held firmly for late prices. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—AII kinds of plain goods for printing continue in demand, and the lower qualities of 6-4;11 merinos are really scarce in the market. In consequence of t'ie larger buyers for the home trade coming into the market rather earlier than usual, the stocks in the warehouses have been considerably reduced, and now the country purchasers are in the market. The stocks of finished goods are there. fore not large... Yarns :—These sell readily at very full pr:ecs. Wool :—The finer qualities are most in demand. A fair amount of business is doing in other kinds at the prices last reported.

The wheat harvest has become general nearly all over the country. In the Fylde country a great breath has been cut in the course of the present week. The same may be said of the Ribble and Lune districts, and of the corn country between this town and Ormskirk. The crop is in many instances much prostrated by the unfavourable weather of July and August, but it is other wise free from injury, ths, quality of the grain being generally very good. Although, as regards this neighbourhood, to expect an abundant harvest would be inconsistent with present pros pects, yet very little short of an average yield will be realized. Barley and Oats will prove good crops. With regard to these and other descriptions of agricultural produce, our report of last week is confirmed by the accounts subsequently re ce;ved.—Preston Chronicle. The harvest has been going on actively during the week in this neighbourhood. The weather has been highly favourable with th:! exception of a day or two, and the crop will be, at all events, fully an average one.—KendalMercury. WaLits.—Our accounts from the more re - mote districts of the county are on the whole favourable ; and if fine weather continues there is no doubt that the crop will be safely secured, although we fear that it will scarcely turn out a full average. The weather has been favourable for harvest operations since our last, and considerable progress has been effected ; yet the scarcely diminished rates demanded for every kind of grain, combine with our various reports to warrant the conclusion that the crop will scarcely reach an average, although the major portion may be housed in pretty tolerable, or even ex cellent condition. This remark is of general application: With respect to imported corn, but little can be expected in the prevent state of the Continental markets. Low prices are therefore quite out of the question. We deem it our duty frankly to avow this, in order that our fellow citizens may take heed and prepare, while there is yet time, by habits of industry and economy, for the rigours of the coming winter. Bread at Carnarvon is now nearly double the price that it bore last w inter.— Carizarvon Herald. SCOTLAND.—Since our last, the weather has been geneally favourable for harvest work, though rather unsettled, and not without occasional showers. Harvest in this neighbourhood, is as general as the state of the weather will allow it to be; and we feel certain that, with a continuance of such fine wea ther as we enjoyed yesterday, the crops will soon be safely lodged. Fine weather has of late been general over the country.—Edinburgh Courant. A favourable change has taken place since the sending of the following report from Fife :—" Olie of the most tremen dous torrents of rain, comparing it; duration with its intensity, poured out on us on. Thursday last which we ever recollect to have witnessed, conjoined with a very heavy gale from the east. It faired somewhat after midnight, and on Friday it was bright and clear. The wind having set in to the north con tinued there till Tuesday, and though the sun shone out the atmosphere felt most unnaturally cpld—severe frost and heavy rhymes, by which the potatoes in the low grounds have suffered. severely, prevailing over night; those of Sunday being par ticularly felt. On Monday evening the wind changed, to south-east, and the temperature is since somewhat impr o ved. Yesterday a thick drizzly rain set in about mid-day, a•.,d con tinued with little intermission till late in the evening. The barley harvest goes on rapidly around us, and some wheat has been cut by Mr. Carstairs, and by Mr. Brown, Balgarvie. A few samples of barley have already been shown in the market. We have seen no oats as yet in the stook, though they arc whitening rapidly —we fear too rapidly." A stalk of oats was pulled a few days ago, on a field be longing to the Rev. Dr. Grierson, minister in the parish of Cockpen, which measured six feet in height, and near the root one inch in circumference. The head contained 259 grains. - The crops in our neighbourhood seem nearly all ready for cutting, while others are fast approaching to maturity . ; and notwithstanding the recent boisterous weather, they are unin jured in condition. The fields of wheat are without's spot or blemish; the oats only ate in places laid down. The weather of the week has generally been favourable, the heavy rain on Wednesday afternoon being the only exception. Hiring at the Gate has been partially commenced ; on Tuesday, some parties were engaged at 20d. per day. —Berwick Advertiser. The weather here (Glasgow) continues variable. On Wed nesday and Thursday we had heavy _falls of rain. Harvest operations are consequently suspended in the meantime, but a considerable portion of the crop is ready for the sickle, and fair weather is all that is wanted to get it in.—Scots Times. IRELAND. —The prospects are most gratifying. We con tinue to be blessed with July weather, as July ought to be. In truth, we doubt whether in the annals of Irish meteorology, Ireland has, for half a century, seen such a S.eptember as this month has hitherto been. The therneameter stood at 69 Fahrenheit at midnight; the barometer at the same time crept back towards " change," but it advanced again thiemorning, so that there is every prospect of the continuance of the most glorious harvest weather ever recollected in this country. We may, therefore, calculate on a fair, if not a full, crop. There will be some defieioney in the wheat, but none, we should cal culate, in any other produce.—Lublin Evening Post. Since our last report the Corn trade has remained in an in active state, and very little business has transpired. The weather has been for some time very variable, and though - eat bad, yet damp enough to retard the maturing of the clops_ Reaping is progressing,, however, and in a short time . .so ex pect to be liberally supplied with new grain. The cluality of the wheat we have seen is very indifferent, being with scarcely an exception, green, and in very damp condition. Oats, on the contrary, promise by sample to be of good quality. Barley is very variable, and we do not think the crop will be so good as is generally imagined. Potatoes are not so well spoken but as yet we have seelt no reason to doubt of their yieldiarg well. The English and Scotch markets have been declining rapidly for all 'rinds of grain, but more particularly for wheat,. which has fallen 15 to 20 per cent., in consequenee.of fine weather, and a cessation from speculation; howev,er, we still hold to the opinion expressed in our last (and, the find it cor roborated by all the leading agriculturists) ---that as soon as the foreign grain is released, and the deficiency in the new wheat becomes apparent, we shall have a considerable re action in prices, particularly as but a comparatively srnill pro portion of our new wheat *ill be of prime quality,' conse quently requiring a large mixtua.e of superior old, of which there is an unusually reduced stock.—Belfast News Letter. After 'clue usual service at Surrey Chapel yester- ItY sZ;veiting, a paper was read by the Rev. Mr. Newth, stat lag that on Friday last a person, who was yet unknown, bad, after attending evening service in that place, droppied down dead, tire remiains of whom now lay at the parish workhouse in Marlborough-street.
